Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices and methods of manufacture.

BACKGROUND

By way of background, rugs and other floor coverings have been around for millennia. For savvy bathers, bathroom rugs are commonly used and have been made in various shapes, sizes and designs to absorb water and moisture after a bath and to prevent slippery floor surfaces as well as to provide comfort from preventing bare feet from coming into contact with the cold floor. Often, a plurality of rugs is placed in the bathroom for providing proper floor coverage while preventing excess water, moisture and debris from accumulating or staining the ground. However, often separate rugs are needed to be placed in front of the sink, shower, toilet bowl and tub for providing proper coverage in the bathroom. Maintaining multiple rugs is not only difficult but is also time consuming and laborious. People desire a bathroom floor covering that has a single piece construction and covers the floor area near toilet, shower, sink and more.

Further, placement of multiple rugs or other floor coverings in a bathroom can cause tripping of a person over the rugs if the rugs or floor coverings are not appropriately fit to the area where the rugs are positioned. This may cause serious injury to the person and therefore people desire a single piece construction that can be placed on the floor to prevent slips and falls and forms an integrated décor piece with the various plumbing fixtures.

Multiple rugs when placed on floor in a small bathroom usually overlap the edges of each other that decreases the overall aesthetic of the bathroom. Further, the overlapping also causes a person to trip if an individual does not cut or trim the individual rugs to provide a better fit. Therefore, people need a single construction rug that can be placed in a small bathroom to avoid overlapping.

Conventional rugs placed near the tub, sink or toilet bowl are not usually absorbent enough to prevent water from seeping onto the floor or from creating puddles. People desire an improved rug or floor covering that can effectively absorb water to prevent water from accumulating on the floor.

Therefore, there exists a long felt need in the art for a bathroom rug or floor covering that has a single piece construction. There is also a long felt need in the art for an improved bathroom rug or floor covering that provides a proper floor coverage for preventing excess water, moisture and debris from accumulating on the floor or staining the floor area of the bathroom. Additionally, there is a long felt need in the art for an improved bathroom rug or floor covering that eliminates placement of multiple rugs or coverings in a bathroom. Moreover, there is a long felt need in the art for a modified bathroom rug or floor covering that prevents the need to have overlapping multiple rugs in a bathroom creating unnecessary ridges on the floor. Further, there is a long felt need in the art for a bathroom rug or floor covering that can be positioned easily on floor of a small bathroom without the need to overlap individual rugs. Furthermore, there is a long felt need in the art for a bathroom rug that effectively absorbs water and prevents water from accumulating on the floor. Finally, there is a long felt need in the art for a bathroom rug or floor covering and system that absorbs water, increases comfort and safety and improves the overall aesthetic of a bathroom.

The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a one-piece bathroom rug shaped for accommodating different plumbing fixtures commonly found in a bathroom, such as a bidet, a toilet, shower, bathtub and a sink. The bathroom rug or floor covering is designed for small bathrooms and for eliminating placement of multiple rugs or other coverings in the bathroom. The bathroom rug or floor covering further includes a first portion configured as a basin rug portion or toilet rug portion, a second portion configured as a shower rug portion, and a third portion as toilet rug portion. The floor covering design can be further manipulated to provide a bidet portion and bathtub portion if these fixtures are in the bathroom. The toilet rug portion is adapted to extend in front of a toilet bowl on floor of the bathroom and includes a cut-out contoured to a toilet base and adapted to receive the toilet base and extending at least partly around the base of the toile. The shower rug portion is adapted to positioned in front of a shower area and the basin rug portion is adapted to be placed below a sink basin. The basin rug portion and the shower rug portion are permanently stitched along a first common edge and the toilet rug portion and the shower rug portion are permanently stitched along a second common edge for forming the one-piece structure of the bathroom rug. The rug has a common border that acts a periphery for the bathroom rug.

In a further embodiment, a floor covering is provided having a central portion configured to fit adjacent a main bathroom fixture such as a bathtub or shower, a first wing portion configured to fit by a sink basin or stand and a second wing portion configured to accommodate a base of a toilet or bidet. Additional wing or flooring portions may be provided to accommodate other fixtures that may be in the bathroom, including a radiator, heater, floor vents, cabinets and whirlpool tubes.

A method of creating a custom made floor covering for a bathroom, comprising the steps of initially providing an accessible on-line system and then providing measurements of a bathroom, the measurements including at least some of the fixtures in the bathroom. Alternatively, a user may enter in the make and model of the fixture and a database can be accessed to provide measurements for the fixture. Next, the user selects from a number of floor covering or rug options. The options may include color, texture, design elements or other aesthetic features. Next, the floor covering is cut based on the measurements. Additional cutting may be performed for other fixtures in the bathroom, such as a bidet, bathtub, cabinet, floor vents, radiators, heaters and whirlpool tubs. Then the pieces are sewn to achieve the design. A package is prepared for the customized rug and the rug is shipped to the user. Finally, the rug is placed in the bathroom.

Referring initially to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of one potential embodiment of the single or unitary construction floor covering or rug of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed specification. The rug or flooring cover 100 has a single or unitary piece construction and is designed for use in small bathrooms and shaped for accommodating a toilet, shower, sink or other fixtures which may be present in a bathroom. The rug or floor covering 100 has at least a first shaped or rectangular portion 102, a second shaped or rectangular portion 104 and a third shaped or rectangular portion 106. It should be understood that while certain shapes may lend themselves to the described embodiment, e.g., square or rectangular, the invention is not so limited, and each portion may have a geometric shape or a fanciful shape. The first portion 102 and the second portion 104 are permanently sewn, stitched or otherwise attached along a first common edge 114. The second portion 104 and the third portion 106 are permanently sewn, stitched or otherwise attached along a second common edge 116. The permanently sewn or attached edges 114, 116 form a single-piece construction of the rug 100 and the rug 100 can be folded along the edges 114, 116 for transportation and storage. Other pieces may be made during the manufacturing process, such as 105 which has a cut out area 107, so that the piece may be used over vent covers, cabinets or the like.

The third portion 106 has a toilet base slot 108 designed as a cut out for accommodating at least a portion of a toilet base 108 as best shown in FIG. 3 . The toilet base slot 108 is designed to be placed around any conventional or standard toilet or bidet base to cover the toilet, bidets and similar fixtures and thus, the third component 106 acts as a toilet or bidet rug. The first portion 102 functions as sink basin rug as the first portion 102 is preferably placed under a sink basin as shown in FIG. 3 . and as in standard bathrooms. The large fixture portion such as to accommodate a shower area, bathtub, whirlpool or the like is placed between the toilet and the sink basin, therefore the second portion 104 functions as a rug for the large fixture where a person can stand and dry off after taking a bath or shower.

The rug 100 extends from a first edge 110 to an opposite second edge 112 and can be designed to apply along the shower area, sink basin, and toilet area. The rug 100 has a border area 118 that can have a design or can be of the same or a different color. The first portion 102 has a proximal edge 1020 and a distal edge 1022, with the proximal edge 1020 preferably placed under a sink basin. Similarly, the second portion 104 has a proximal edge 1040 configured to be placed near the large fixture portion such as a shower, and the distal edge 1042 away from the shower, bathtub or whirlpool. The distal edge 1060 of the third portion 106 is placed in front of the toilet or bidet bowl as shown in FIG. 3 . The second portion 104 can also have a Logo or other indicia 120 or a text such as “WELCOME” or the name of the owner or other suitable designs for aesthetic purposes.

It should be appreciated that although the portions 102, 104, 105, 106 shown in the present embodiment are generally rectangular but they can be of any shape depending on the design of the bathroom and positions of the toilet bowl, shower and basin. Further, the relative dimensions of the portions 102, 104, 105, 106 can be designed and modified as per dimensions of a bathroom in which the rug or floor covering 100 is to be applied.

FIG. 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the single construction bathroom rug or floor covering of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed specification. One advantage of the rug or floor covering 100 of the present invention is the capability to absorb water and moisture and thus preventing water from accumulating on the floor of the bathroom. The bathroom rug or floor covering 100 is a multilayered device that has a plurality of layers for effectively absorbing water and moisture and also not slipping on the floor.

More specifically, the rug 100 has a top (first) layer 202 made from memory foam. The memory foam top layer 202 does not get wet easily while absorbing water. Memory foam provides a soft and velvety touch when a user puts his or her feet on the rug 100. A second layer 204 is positioned below the top layer 202 and is made from Chenille fabric. The second layer 204 has polyester or poly-blend yarns that have an even, plush pile. Chenille fabric helps in maintaining shape of the rug 100 and resists pilling and wrinkling. Further, both synthetic and natural Chenille fabric can be used in the rug 100.

A third layer 206 is formed of bamboo as bamboo reduces drying time of the rug 100. Further, bamboo provides anti-skid properties to the rug and blends well with the Chenille fabric. Bamboo also increases strength and durability of the rug 100, is provided from a renewable resource and avoids complete tearing of the rug 100. The bottom layer 208 is again made from memory foam, however, a high-density memory foam is used in the bottom layer 208. The high-density memory foam offers supreme support and absorbs water on floor of the bathroom. The bottom layer 208 may also be provided with one or more rubberized feet 210 and 212 to prevent the rug or floor covering from slipping when placed on the floor.

The density of memory foam used in the top layer 202 ranges from 5 lb/ft³ to 8 lb/ft³ and the density of memory foam used in the bottom layer 208 ranges from 9 lb/ft³ to 12 lb/ft³. The bamboo layer 206 is the thinnest and can have a thickness in the range 3 mm-4 mm and the top layer 202 is the thickest and can have a thickness in the range 8 mm-10 mm.

FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view of the single construction bathroom rug of the present invention applied to a standard small bathroom in accordance with the disclosed specification. As shown, the bathroom 300 has a toilet or bidet bowl 302 that has a base 304, a standing shower comportment 306 and a sink basin 308. It should be understood that the toilet or bidet bowl 302, base 304, the standing shower comportment 306 and the sink basin 308 are not a part of the rug 100 of the present invention. The rug 100 is applied to the bathroom 300 such that the toilet or bidet base slot 108 is positioned around the toilet or bidet base 304 to cover the contour of the toilet or bidet base 304 with the distal edge 1060 of the third portion 106 is positioned in front of the toilet or bidet bowl 302, thereby enabling the third component 106 to function as a toilet rug or floor covering.

The proximal edge 1040 of the second portion 104 is positioned along the wall of the shower 306 enabling the second portion 104 to resemble a standard shower rug with the distal edge 1042 placed away from the shower 306. The shower rug portion 104 covers the surface area in front of the large fixture or shower 306. The large fixture or shower rug portion 104 is also configured to cover the surface area in front of a large bathing fixture such as shower tub, bathtub, whirlpool tub or the like in a similar manner. Similarly, the first portion 102 resembles a sink basin rug or floor covering and is used by an individual for standing while using the sink basin 308. Based on the design of the bathroom, the second portion 104 can be used as a sink basin rug and the first portion 102 can be used as a large fixture shower rug without affecting the efficiency of the rug or floor covering 100.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the rug 100 is uniform across the portions 102, 104, 105, 106. However, in another embodiment, the rug 100 has higher thickness for the second portion 104 or generally for the portion that functions as a bath or shower rug than the other two portions. More specifically, both the top layer and the bottom layer of the rug 100 can be made from high density memory to increase the thickness of the rug.

FIG. 4 provides a block diagram showing an exemplary method of creating a customed rug or floor covering. The method comprises the steps of initially providing an accessible on-line system at step 410 and then providing measurements of a bathroom at step 420. The measurements including at least some of the fixtures in the bathroom. Alternatively, a user may enter in the make and model of the fixture at step 435 and a database can be accessed to provide measurements for the fixture. Next, the user selects from a number of floor covering or rug options at step 430. The options may include color, texture, design elements or other aesthetic features at step 445. Next, the floor covering is cut based on the measurements at step 440. Additional cutting may be performed for other fixtures in the bathroom such as a bidet, bathtub, cabinet, floor vents, radiators, heaters and whirlpool tubs 437. The pieces are sewn or otherwise attached to complete the design at step 447. A package is prepared for the customized rug and the rug is shipped to the user at step 450 and the rug is placed in the bathroom.
